 Yesterday, I finished page 18 of Sea Witch which had her at 45.89% complete.

then, tonight, I finished my stitches for August which ended up being 2100 tent/1050 full x stitches and 46.07% complete.

Her Private Garden is out next.

8/10/26

 Saturday, I met my August goal for Chatelaine's Hawaiian Garden with 2129 stitches on part 7.

And this morning, I finished page 17 of Sea Witch.  Page 18 is also very close to being finished and will probably be complete later today.

7/13/26

 I'm met my July goal for Sea Witch with 2066 tent stitches/1033 full x stitches and 45.34% complete.

Chatelaine's Heritage Sampler is out to finish another line of personalization.  I'm still debating what I'm going to add to the last bit around the bottom garden but I think I've settled on "Family is...Everything".  But should that be in script or the same font as the rest of the personalization?  Not sure yet.

6/19/26

 Last night, I met my June goal for Sea Witch with 2020 tent/1010 full x stitches.  This is now 44.62% complete.

The confetti is real in the bubbles and the witch's hair!

Warrior Alice is out next.

5/9/26

 I've met my May goal for Sea Witch today with 2112 tent/1056 full x stitches and 43.92% complete.

At this point I'm stitching over pages 17 and 18 since once I finish the black in page 18, it'll pretty much just be the witch's hair left and that going to be all the same colors.  I'm really excited to see her stitched.

Harriet Godhard is next.

4/24/26

 I've completed the April stitches for Sea Witch with 2094 tent/1047 full x stitches and 43.18% complete.

All the stitches were DMC 310 over two pages but those stitches will give me a place to count from and to start/stop all the colors of the bubbles and the witch's hair.

Margret Croft from Needlework Press is out next.

3/14/26

 March's goal is met for Sea Witch with 2184 tent/1092 full x stitches and 42.46% complete 

Hawaii is going to come back out to meet the remaining 500 stitches of its goal. 

2/21/26

Last night I finished the remaining stitches to meet my February goal with 2110 tent/1055 full x stitches and 41.7% complete 

This morning, I've picked up March's Window View in Stitches from Stitches and Cutz that I'm stitching for a shop model for Heartland Quilting and Stitching.  We've decided to meet next Saturday so I decided this must be done so I can hand it off to them.

This is what it looked like when I picked it up this morning

I've already added a couple of clouds so I can be sure of the placement of the rainbow and finished off all the hanging threads.  Yay!  With any luck, I'll have this finished this weekend so I can pick up some of my other WIPs and meet some more of my 2026 goals.

2/20/06

 I've finished page 16 of Sea Witch and it's now 41.48% complete.

I love how the dragon is turning out!  The Witch looks dark IRL but in the photo all the colors look great.  I didn't realize she had a nose until I pulled it off the q-snap to take a picture.

1/20/26

One would think 2030 tent stitches /1015 full x stitches would have gotten me closer to a page finish.  Alas, it was not to be this month.  Sea Witch is now 40.97% complete.

The colors of the witch's face look a little scary right now, but once everything around it is in, it should look more "natural".  This is a witch though.

Chatelaine's Hawaiian Garden Mandala is out for it's January stitches.

12/20/25

 I've met my goal for Sea Witch with 1166 tent/583 full x stitches and 40.26% complete.

Besides the dragon's face, I've finally found the witch's face at the bottom right corner of this page.

11/19/25

 I've met my November stitch goal for Sea Witch with 1054 tent/527 full x stitches and 39.86% complete.

I love that you can see the top of the dragon's face coming in with just a couple of colors.

No Place Like Home from Unconventional XStitch is out next.

10/2/25

 I've met my October goal for Sea Witch with 1118 tent/559 full x stitches and 39.49% complete.  This also completes page 15.

Her Private Garden is next.

9/9/25

 I've met my September goal for Sea Witch.  I could have kept it out and finished of the page, but I was done and it was time to rotate.  I added 1080 tent/540 full x stitches and this is now 39.10% complete.

SS Daybreak is out now for it's 1000 tent stitches this month.

8/23/25

 I didn't reach my August goal for Sea Witch last night as I'd hoped but I did meet it this morning.

Here she is with an additional 1204 tent stitches/602 full x stitches and 38.73% complete.

I'm hoping to have page 15 finished in September but it may be October.  Page 16 may yet be this year as well since a good bit of the black that I'm stitching on page 15 is on page 16 up to the dragon's jaw so it's being stitched at the same time.

I've pulled out Steampunk Portal, HAED's 2025 SAL to make some progress andI'm not really feeling all the confetti.  I'm going to pull another color or two and see if that changes, but that may be coming off the qsnaps in favor of another WIP.

7/7/25

 I've met my June goal for Sea Witch with 1136 tent/568 full x stitches.  It is now 38.31% complete.

After Sea Witch, Loneliness of Autumn came out.  Saturday, I finished page 21 which saw 74.04% complete.

And last night saw me make it to 75.54% complete.

I'm almost hoping to finish page 22 with June stitches.

6/7/25

 Yesterday, I met my June goal for Warrior Alice with 2050 tent/1025 full x stitches and 60.06% complete

 I've met my April goal for Sea witch with 1098 tent/549 full x stitches and 37.16% complete.

Heritage Sampler is coming back out, probably through the weekend to finish the band I was working on and to maybe start and finish the next one.

4/1/25

 Yesterday, I was home alone and took advantage of it.
